Mission Statement
Teller County Catholic Community treasures the family, fellowship
and faith community, while working in the name of Jesus for the
needs of the Church and Teller County.
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King
Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying,
"Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its
rising and have come to do him homage." When King Herod heard this,
he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Assembling all
the chief priests and the scribes of the people, He inquired of
them where the Christ was to be born. They said to him, "In
Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the
prophet: And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least
among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler, who
is to shepherd my people Israel." Then Herod called the magi
secretly and ascertained from them the time of the
star's appearance. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and
search diligently for the child. When you have found him, bring me
word, that I too may go and do him homage." After their audience
with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen
at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the
place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star,
and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother.
They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened
their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and
myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod,
they departed for their country by another way.

Gospel Reflections for The Epiphany of the Lord
Gospel Summary The Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, asking
the whereabouts of the newborn king of the Jews. Herod was troubled
by this news of the birth, as was all of Jerusalem. He sent the
Magi to Bethlehem to search for the child, asking that they bring
the child to him so that he could do the child homage. The Magi set
out and followed the star to the place where the child was. They
did the child homage and offered him their gifts of gold,
frankincense, and myrrh. But they were warned in a dream not to
return to Herod, and they left for their country by a different
route.
Reflection for Parents This Gospel narrative is full of adventure,
danger, mystery, and yes—gifts! During this Christmas season, enjoy
dramatizing this Gospel as a family. Then think about how far you
would travel, how far you would go to pay homage to Jesus. Would
you go as far as your parish to receive the Sacraments or to spend
some time in quiet prayer? Would you go as far as the soup kitchen
to serve a meal to the hungry? Would you go as far as to tell
someone to stop bullying a classmate or a coworker? Would you go as
far as to give up a morning cup of coffee or a favorite treat in
order to give to someone in need the gift of food or clothing or
the necessities of life? How far would you go? What would you give
as your gifts to the King?
Bringing the Gospel into Your Family The star led the Magi to the
place where Jesus was. With your family, cut out several yellow
construction paper stars. On each star write either a way you can
find Jesus— such as “read God’s Word”—or the name of a person who
has helped you find Jesus, such as “Grandma Joan.” Create a mobile
of your stars using coat hangers and yarn or string. Hang your
stars in a place where all family members will see them.
Discussion Starters 1. I can be like a star and show Jesus to
others by... 2. The greatest gift I can give Jesus is... 3. The
greatest gift our family can give Jesus is...

News and Events
Mass on January 1st January 1st is not a Holy Day of Obligation
this year, but there will be Mass at 12:00 noon to observe the
Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God.
Altar Servers Serving the people of God while we worship in the
church is a way of growing closer to God. We cannot see God. But
when we do something for God’s people, we give worship and honor to
God and encounter the living God. Serving at the Altar is a special
privilege. Altar Servers are close to the altar as they serve the
priest, they carry the cross, they carry the light of Christ as the
Gospel is proclaimed. Our altar servers wear the robe of baptism
(the alb), which is a sign of their position in the community as
baptized people. They hold the book of the prayers (the Roman
Missal), and they help the priest at the altar. How wonderful this
is! Please contact Mr. Pete Johnston, 719.687.2131, to begin this
exciting ministry today.
